ayurvedic notes
This is a rich, ojas-building rice dish that provokes Kapha and pacifies Vata. Cashews, like most nuts, are too dense for people with weak digestion.
about
Experiment with buttery, sour rice dishes warmed with turmeric and cumin. Lemon lifts up the heaviness of rice. 'Deep flavored' cashews and ghee balance the rice with sweet peas that feel good in the body. Discovered by Jason, a student at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, NM.
